We had a little play of Star Wars Battlefront 2 during the previous closed alpha, but now the public beta is out and we're nearer its release, we thought we'd see how DICE's shooter is shaping up. This time around we’re giving it a sterner test - the Radeon RX 370 2GB, benchmarked in its 40-player Galactic Assault mode.

The graphics settings for Star Wars Battlefront 2 remain pretty much identical to what they were for the original Battlefield. They’re also extremely similar to Battlefield 1. The only real change of note is that addition of TAA (Temporal Antialiasing) to the antialiasing section.

For our Star Wars Battlefront 2 benchmarks we played the 40-player Galactic Assault mode on Theed, taking the average frame rate during the course of two lives. There's obviously a margin for error here, but the results fell precisely in line with what we were expecting. For these benchmarks we used an AMD Radeon R7 370 equipped with 2GB video memory. It’s backed up by 16GB DDR4 memory and an Intel Core i7-5820K CPU.

Absolutely sublime is about all I can muster in regards to Star Wars Battlefront 2's performance. DICE prove it time and time again, and the results are here once again. Battlefront 2 looks fantastic, plays fantastic, and feels fantastic, even on a humble 2GB Radeon R7 370 with 40 players tearing it around in spaceships, AT-STs, or flinging plasma grenades. It’s quite amazing, and it’s topped off by a very even frame rate that makes it eminently playable even at 1440p. 60 frames per second should obviously be your target but honest, even at 37 fps at 1440p / Ultra, it didn’t feel as if the lower frame rate was having an impact, either on my enjoyment or my performance.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 just runs extremely well on PC, and that’s just about all there is to it. Whether the actual game can live up to DICE’s Frostbite magic we’ll have to wait and see, but for now, consider us extremely impressed.

what do you expect? a single player battlefront? even the old battlefront games are MP focused. If you want a single player Star Wars experience, you probably have to wait. BTW, speaking of old battlefront… The old Battlefront 2 has reopened their servers!

Yet again. Im happy with the fps results out of this game. Its well enough optimized for low-med GPUs like mine and 750 Ti. I tried to play in 40 players server. The game dosn't drop below 50fps in the high intensive battle scenes. Even when the match starts and there are all 40 people drops to 52 at max. The palace part of the map is running with around 70fps in action scenes.https://imgur.com/a/heqKy

I've been trying for almost a day now and I still haven't been able to find a game. Not enough players join it for whatever reason. Probably a server thing. I wait for anywhere from 2 - 10 mins until I give up. None of the multiplayer modes have worked so far. Anyone else facing this issue ?

ive set every sinlge setting to ultra/max (including that AO thing ) and I'm getting like 70-80 fps during 40 player battle mode and 110-135 during arcadeare these frames fine considering my resolution ? cant really figure it out :(

don't think that's possiblewas going through YT videos and saw a 780 getting 50-60 on the native ultra preset..he then set lowered 3-4 settings (including shadows to high) to get a more stable 60 70-80 doesn't seem right for galactic

Not sure but that is what I'm getting. I was expecting to get around 50-60 but to my surprise it's running a lot better. It mainly stays in the 70s and does drop into the 60s at some points while also reaching into the 80s in certain locations on galactic assault.
